Whipple's disease is a rare multisystem chronic infection, causing weight loss, arthralgia, diarrhea, and abdominal pain and is caused by the poorly understood Gram-positive actinomycete Tropheryma whipplei. In the February 22 Lancet, Stephen D Bentley and colleagues at The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Cambridge, UK, describe the complete T. whipplei genome sequence, which may provide insights into the etiology of Whipple's disease (The Lancet, 361:637-644, February 22, 2003).
